This was many moons ago, young 'un, and here in NY, they were being introduced in some gourmet food shops.

Yes, I'd thought the combo of chocolate and hard pretzels seemed...weird....that is, until I actually tried one.

Yesterday, I was in a place where I ordered a "bratzel" --- a bratwurst served in a roll that was the length and configuration of a hot dog bun except it actually was a soft pretzel, with sauerkraut (that had been in cider) piled high.

Holy Crow, was THAT good!

If you lived close enough to get sarris candy there would be no question of the goodness of chocolate covered pretzels. Chocolate in general.

Ava Braun, party of two.

The same day I bought my first two chocolate-covered pretzels, I also bought a small bucket of chocolate-covered potato chips. Again, I thought the combo was odd....but those chips really were good.

Goodnight, Ogres. My freelance project for the evening is finished and now I am off to bed to get some rest. Have fun, guys.

Sweet and salty make for a good combination.

Fixed it for ya.

Hey, I can dream, can't I (and hopefully Mrs. Soxolas does not visit here)?

This is for you Soxolas if you are ever in the burgh you'll want this.

Who's the band? Familiar they are.

Skew Siskin.

Where'd that damn dog run off to? It's starting to smell...okay...in here.

4 in a row. Outlandish, I tell you. Watched Emerald Knights. It was okay. Nothing special really.

Just finished watching Raw, and honestly, I'm saddened by how far the WWE has fallen. There was so much pointless fluff that it was pathetic. The Triple Threat match was great, and I'm glad CM Punk is the #1 Contender, as hopefully they'll now actually do something good with him. Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler was alright, but the ending was dumb, I thought. As for the main event, Cena again was the winner. Its kinda ridiculous. How can you legitimize people to challenge Cena for the title when he's always booked to beat them (like R-Truth in this case)? Its like Cena is at a Hulk Hogan point where no matter how badly he's being beaten, he'll win in the end, and he's booked to win almost all the time. Its really irritating. Back in the day, there were SO many contenders for the title, and even if they never won, you believed they could have. Now, you can tell who's gonna win even before the match begins. R-Truth vs Cena? They'll never give R-Truth the belt. And then there's Christian, who had the belt 5 days, and then it was put on Randy Orton. Just insane.

I was actually hoping they would have R-Truth, Christian and The Miz fight each other. That would have been entertaining. CM Punk said his contract will be up. I think he may actually take the WWE belt away with him if they do have him win. I strongly think that Smack Down's days are numbered. The wrestlers seem to cross over more often than not anymore and I think it has struggled. So I think with punk will go the WWE title and so will smack down. One title one show.
